I just hate where we’re headed with the sports betting in general. I don’t do it, and don’t care to hear about it ad nauseam. This might be my first “angry old man” post, but, damn, do I long for the good old days before sports betting seemed to be the most important part of sports. 

Betting is fine IMO but pushing it before and during the game and on MLB Network etc is just bad taste.

I wasn't even thinking of the betting aspect of win probability. I just figured these guys aren't prepared enough during the telecast to talk about the actual game and the actual players in the short 2+ hour time frame it's on. 

It makes me even more disappointed that it has something to do with gambling. I've lost tons of money in my life gambling. I've had some big wins. Overall, I'm down a lot. I've never bet on baseball, outside of personal bets with friends over whose team finishes higher in the standings and such.

I've learned in my time of gambling that the house always wins in the end. I'm not the house, so I'm not doing it anymore. There's a reason these sites offer you 10x the amount of your initial investment when you first sign up. They are going to get it all anyway, so who cares if they donate that much to rope you in, get you to download that app and make it a regular thing to click a couple buttons in a couple of seconds and lose a few hundred weekly. 

If gambling will be front and center going forward, and more important than appreciating the sport for what it is, I'm out. And so will a lot of other people.
